The War Zone

The flashes of light The darkness of night My eyes won’t turn away From this strangely beautiful sight Thunder roars and shakes my bed The war zone is breaking loose Tons of thought fill my head But none run clear to count Lights are flickering Fear fills the minds of the fearful Who knows nothing of this battle To which not I fight But is fought over me Could I count the casualties No not one For that realm is unspoken, Untouched and misunderstood Yet one day when it’s over It is I who will rise to victory For I have already chosen the winning side And I stand unshaken
